Eric, I don't believe the rumor had anything to do with Hank Lee not having a dealer booth at either the SAM or IBM. Several people walked up to me and asked if it was true that Hank Lee had sold his business to one of his employees. That's all.

I had heard this rumor prior to the summer conventions and spoke with Bob at Hank Lee's. The rumor I had heard was that Hank Lee was retiring and turning control over to one of his employees. According to Bob, this rumor is completely false.
